Some of you who receive my blog posts may be wondering why I have published no posts for nearly two months. I assure you, I am not dead, not yet, and I hope not for several more years.
I’m having too much fun to even contemplate the prospect of death. My absence from composing blog posts is mainly due to an annual distraction of late August-early September and to an important civic activity. The distraction is the U.S Open tennis tournament, now ended, but which I found particularly fascinating this year. The civic activity is having been selected for jury duty. That, too, is fascinating. I still am serving as a juror, and suspect that I won’t be able to work on a new post for at least one more week.
In the meantime, given that all my posts are based on my photographs, I offer the following three as evidence that I remain animate and quite healthy.

Glad to read and see how well you are doing. Portrait is a wonderful likeness. And you and Andrea are a great looking and clearly thriving couple.
Looking forward to hearing observations from your jury journey.
Not sure what observations I may make regarding jury duty–certainly nothing before the trial is done. After that, possibly some general notes, but I would first ask the Judge who, by the way, is quite wonderful and impressive!
SO HAPPY you have not kicked it yet! You look great, both in person and in painting. Love to you both!
